JB HiFi are now selling grey import Canon to compete with D-D, DWI etc.

They operatethe same deal as DWI, you buy from them, the goods come direct from Hong Kong and you are liable for all import duties/taxes GST whatever. More and more local retailers/wholesalers are beginning to operate parallel imports just to stay in business. A couple of days ago their site was showing the grey stuff, but I just checked again and the pages are blank.

Of the grey Canon dealers, I've only ever dealt with D-D, and they've been great on every occasion. When you do the sums, D-D works out only a few bucks more than DWI, but you don't have any of the hassle of importing the item yourself, all dues are already paid.

Cheers,
Jason.
